I just cut a deal with my new (older) buddy. He came forward...not me. He grows everything that can be grown at this latitude...has some major acreage...wants someone to help him drive his tractors and harvest his vegetables...and be a "sell boy" at the markets. Hours are two half-days a week selling, and a maybe a day on the tractor. . The pay is a brand new Beagle puppy (he has 20 purebred championship Beagles he breeds) and all the fresh vegetables I can take...for the rest of the year. Seemed like a good deal to me...I signed on. I do loves me some fresh vegetables...I do loves me some hound dogs...and my new buddy is a good guy...so is his woman.

I will work for food...and a dog.

I also have been known to do a little rabbit and deer hunting...on the side...part of the deal.
